As a system supplier for forming technology, Schuler integrates the specific automation solution into hydraulic, mechanical and servo press lines – from the blank to the finished part – depending on the spectrum of parts, the output capacity and the space requirements. Press inter-linking can be implemented with conventional robot solutions or with the innovative Crossbar automation systems developed by Schuler. Regardless of which solution is used, the transfer of the work pieces is performed without intermediate storage, with high production reliability and at high speed – directly from one die to the next.
interlinking within automated press lines is achieved according to the process requirements by: � Robots � Crossbar robots � Crossbar feeder
the Schuler product spectrum is complemented by: � Blankloaders with optical centering station � Blank washers � Tooling and die change systems � Finished part stackers

mAximum produCtivity witH ServodireCt preSSeS In addition to the use of conventional presses (mechanical or hydraulic), lines for manufacturing shaped blanks are preferably equipped with servo presses nowadays. Schuler Servodirect Technology makes it possible to adjust the motion sequences of the press specifically to each blanking die. This increases the output capacity and the service life of the dies significantly. The equipment can be designed for processing very different materials, such as aluminum or high-strength steel. It enables you to process materials with sensitive surfaces smoothly at high stroke rates.
All upstream and downstream automation components such as the Schuler Power Feed roll feed unit with direct servo motor drive, or the flexible Stop2drop stacker, support the high press performance and powerful dynamic characteristics found in blanking operations. A high level of automation ensures quick production changes and a smooth production process.

Schuler offers blanking lines equipped with cross-cut shears for manufacturing blanks with a rectangular, parallelogram or curved shape. If the manufacturing process is restricted to straightforward blank shapes, then cross-cut shears represent the ideal solution – both with regard to purchase costs and their productivity. Optionally, the shears can be equipped with an automatic die change.
lASer CuttinG: FlexiBle produCtion, CompACt line deSiGn
Blanking lines with lasers are particularly suitable for production sequences with frequent product changes as well, because no tooling is used for laser cutting. This means there is no need whatsoever to invest in dies, die maintenance and die warehousing. The compact design of the line means it can be used even when limited space is available and in halls with low overhead heights. With their innovative dynamicFlow Technology, they offer the most flexible possible production conditions with comparatively low investment costs. The laser cutting line processes an extremely wide range of materials such as aluminum or high-strength steels, and guarantees high productivity even with skin panels that have sensitive surfaces.
